Aspendell, California... This small community is threatened by two separate avalanche paths which caused destruction in both 1969 and 1986. After the 1986 destruction, the county produced a hazard map, which was completed in 1989. New construction is now required to include proper avalanche analysis and structural engineering.

In connection with this study, a home has been completed by Maxwell and Associates Architects and is featured here.
